In The Heart Of Cedric’s Affection Chapter 495
One might think a single childish sticky note confession would suffice, but Cedric seemed addicted to his madness. He called her daily while standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, arranging for a florist to deliver roses."I can't take it anymore! Cedric sends you huge bouquets of roses every day. My eyes are tired of all the pink and deep red. How am I supposed to design a set of cool jewelry for religious people?" Jeanna complained."Then you should just stay in the design department," Sophie retorted, deliberately countering Jeanna's playful complaints."Hmph! That's not the point. Besties need to spend as much time together as possible every day."Sophie put down the delicate spray bottle, her eyes sparkling with the vibrant beauty of the roses in the glass vase. She teased, "You're about to get married. You should be spending more time with Sean."Jeanna and Sean's wedding was set for the 9th of next month, leaving less than a month. It was time for her to start preparing a

"Charlie is quite the enigma. I can't figure out what's going on in his head," Jeanna remarked with a pout.Sophie laughed. "I can't either."'But since we've signed him, we have to turn him into a money-making star for Paramount,' Sophie thought.-At the Carlson residence, Jeff ended a phone call, looking exceptionally pleased. "Sending flowers now, huh? It seems the days I've been hoping for are finally coming."He muttered to himself for a while before collecting his thoughts. Moving with purpose, he retrieved a thick notebook from a drawer. His aged, rough fingers gently stroked the cover with a nostalgic and wistful look in his eyes."I haven't used you in years, but now it seems you have a purpose again."He placed a pair of reading glasses on his nose, opened the notebook, and began writing slowly but steadily. After some time, he paused, admiring his still-nimble handwriting. A smile crept back onto his face, though he wondered how much longer he could keep writing.Wh

After school, the driver took Tristan and Cherry directly to the taekwondo gym. Once they changed into their uniforms, they entered the classroom, bowing politely to the teacher. "Hello, teacher.""Hello, start with your warm-up," the teacher instructed.Tristan began his warm-up obediently, but Cherry seemed a bit distracted. It wasn't that she was slacking off; she just knew that warming up wouldn't make much difference for her.When Jeff signed them up, he mentioned that his grandson was in third grade and his granddaughter was in first grade. However, he had forgotten to specify that she was a smart kid who had skipped a grade. Consequently, the gym had placed her in the same class as Tristan.She was supposed to be in the preschool group but ended up in the youth group, needing special care. The teacher never asked her to participate in demonstrations, afraid she might get hurt. During sparring practice, her senior classmates always stopped their punches and kicks at least ten

Cherry rubbed her sore bottom, muttering to herself, 'Hmph! At least you have a bit of conscience!'However, the pain had not subsided before Tristan used the over-the-shoulder throw a second time.Cherry didn't even have time to react before she was slammed to the ground again.This time, not only did her bottom and back hurt, but her shoulder was in pain as well."Tristan!" While scrambling to her feet, Cherry’s usually sweet face twisted with anger and frustration. "Picking on someone smaller and a girl, aren't you ashamed?" she shouted."We're in the same class. If you got thrown, it just means you're too weak," Tristan retorted, his tone full of obvious provocation.Cherry couldn't take it. With all her might, she aimed a kick at his stomach.'Calling me weak? I was the one who saved him from those bullies before!'Before her small foot, like a little white bun, could reach his stomach, it was firmly caught. With a slight tug, Tristan pulled her, making her look like a bal

"That jerk Tristan! How could he be so rough!" Cherry flopped onto her bed, her poor little bottom only comfortable when it was sticking up in the air.She had not even finished cursing when she heard a knock on the door."Cherry, can Mommy come in?"'Is that Mommy?' She quickly pulled the blanket over her bottom and answered in a low voice, "Yes."Sophie opened the door and saw her curled up under the blanket, a soft smile appearing on her face. "Did today's class wear you out? Is your bottom sore?""How did you know my bottom hurts?" Cherry was surprised. 'Was it that obvious?'"Silly girl, I'm your mommy."Cherry had always had a quirk since she was little. Whenever her bottom hurt, she would lie on the bed with her bottom sticking up, saying it hurt less that way."My bottom hurts so much, and Mommy is still making fun of me." Cherry pouted unhappily. There was no sign of a little brother or sister yet, and Sophie was not as affectionate as before. It seemed her previous ac

Jeff was getting a bit restless in the living room. When he saw Sophie descending the stairs, he anxiously asked, "Is little Cherry okay?""She's fine, just tired from class. She'll be okay after some rest. Let's eat." Sophie smiled gently, choosing not to mention the incident between Tristan and Cherry."That's good. Mrs. Carrie, save some of her favorite dishes for later. When our little glutton gets hungry, heat them up for her.""Don't worry, sir," Mrs. Carrie replied with a knowing smile, well aware of Cherry's eating habits.Tristan could not help but glance upstairs toward Cherry's room, his delicate brows furrowing slightly. 'She must be really angry.'Sophie noticed his brief look of resignation before he lowered his head again, confirming her suspicions. Setting down her utensils, she said, "Tomorrow is Saturday. I was thinking of taking Cherry and Tristan to the amusement park.""That's a good idea. You and Cedric can take the kids. Children shouldn't be constantly eng

Cedric purchased all-inclusive passes, and they followed the crowd into the amusement park. As soon as Cherry saw the carousel at the entrance and the Ferris wheel turning slowly in the distance, her pent-up frustration from the previous night melted away. She grabbed Sophie's arm, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "Mommy, I want to ride the carousel and the Ferris wheel!"Seeing her daughter's enthusiastic demeanor, Sophie felt a twinge of guilt.Cherry might be more mature and understanding than other kids her age, but she was still a child who deserved a joyful, carefree childhood."Okay, okay," Sophie agreed with a smile, then turned to Tristan, who had been unusually quiet all morning. "Tristan, would you like to join us?""I—""Carousels and Ferris wheels are for girls," Cherry interjected before Tristan could answer, her face pouty. She did not want to ride with him."Ms. Luxford, I won't ride those," Tristan said quietly, bowing his head slightly. He knew Cherry was s

"Let's ride the carousel," Sophie suggested.Cherry, who had been eager to ride the Ferris wheel and carousel just moments ago, now looked hesitant, her voice wavering slightly. "Mommy, how about we try something else first?"She imagined the carousel suddenly stopping while it was spinning. 'Wouldn't I crash into the horse's rear in front of me?'Seeing right through her hesitation, Sophie could not help but smile. "What do you want to do instead?"Cherry glanced around. The roller coaster, drop tower, and pirate ship all looked terrifying, especially with the constant screams coming from every direction. She shuddered and pointed to a claw machine in a quiet corner. "Let's play that.""Are you sure?" Sophie asked."Yes, that's what I want to do," Cherry replied earnestly, tugging at Sophie's arm.Trying not to laugh, Sophie let herself be pulled toward the claw machine, with Cedric and Tristan following close behind."Mommy, see that pink stuffed animal inside? I want that on

Tristan looked up in surprise. As if struck by a sudden thought, he glanced at Cherry, who was writhing in pain, and timidly asked, "Can I go to the hospital to help?""You need to stay home and help Cherry get a leave from school tomorrow. Be good and stay here. Trust Daddy. Cherry will be fine." Cedric's words seemed to soothe Tristan's anxiety.Avoiding Cedric’s gaze, Tristan obediently nodded. 'Cherry will surely be fine.'-The Bentley sped along the road and soon arrived at the hospital.Cedric held Cherry the entire time, while Sophie handled the paperwork. Their seamless cooperation made them seem like a perfectly ordinary married couple."Mr. Carlson, Mrs. Carlson, the child has gastritis and needs to be hospitalized for treatment," the emergency physician explained after examining Cherry, jotting down the diagnosis in the medical record.Sophie's face turned pale. 'Gastritis? How could it be so severe?'"Can she recover?" Cedric asked with a frown, his sudden intimida

In Imperium, hardly anyone else would dare yell at Cedric like this. Cedric's eyes narrowed dangerously, his shoulders radiating a cold aura. However, traces of helplessness and doting affection softened his expression. Despite his reluctance, he eventually turned aside cooperatively.Sophie couldn't help but smile. 'It's no wonder some people believe that daughters are their fathers' lovers from a previous life. If it were anyone else, Cedric would have likely thrown them out the window by now.'She lifted Cherry's clothes to reveal her round belly and gently massaged it in circles with her fingers. Taking the opportunity, she also gave Cherry a gentle reminder, "How many times has Mommy told you not to eat so much? But you never listen. Now you know how it feels when you overeat, huh?""Mommy, could you not rub salt in my wounds?" Cherry's face was scrunched up in pain. Her pitiful and aggrieved expression instantly silenced Sophie, who decided to save the scolding for when Cherry

Cedric kissed Sophie’s rosy cheeks, preparing to take things to the next level, when a knock on the door interrupted them at a crucial moment.His expression darkened immediately. No man liked being interrupted at such a time, and it had happened repeatedly."Who is it?" Sophie grabbed the blanket beside her to cover her exposed chest, her hoarse voice betraying her recent passion."Ms. Luxford... It's me." Tristan's low voice came from the other side of the door.'Tristan?' Sophie looked at the man beside her, surprised. She had assumed it was Cherry again, but unexpectedly...Gathering her scattered clothes from the floor, Sophie dressed quickly. Ensuring there was nothing inappropriate between her and Cedric, she got out of bed and walked toward the door.Tristan stood there, head down, fingers fidgeting, indicating urgency. As soon as the door opened, he looked up anxiously and said, "Ms. Luxford, could you go check on Cherry? She seems unwell.""Cherry is unwell?" The flush

"This birthday brings me a lot of happiness."Sophie grasped the deeper implications of his words. The blush on her cheeks faded slightly, and the initial flutter of excitement mingled with a touch of sadness. No one could predict what Jeff's condition would be like by her next birthday.Cedric shifted the topic, pouring the already decanted red wine into a tall glass and handing it to her. "Just one glass. This is for your private birthday celebration. Happy birthday."The intoxicating aroma of the wine was irresistible. She stopped resisting and held her glass up to gently clink against his, producing a clear, melodious sound that resonated beautifully in the quiet room.The rich wine slid down her throat, soothing her tense nerves. Her tightly held shoulders relaxed, and her racing heart found a semblance of peace. She had once believed she would never fall for Cedric again, but looking back, she realized that all her hatred had been rooted in love.He had transformed love into

Cedric seemed to know exactly what Sophie was nervous about. He raised his eyebrows suggestively, causing her to blush and quickly look away.What had happened between them lingered in the air, irrevocable.Jeff squinted, watching their subtle gestures with satisfaction. Smiling contentedly, he struggled to his feet with the help of his cane. These two had already reached a natural conclusion, and there was no need for him to exaggerate his illness any longer."Mommy, I still have homework to do. I'm heading to my room," Cherry announced, her bright eyes glancing at Tristan. She couldn't beat him at Taekwondo, but she was determined to outshine him in the midterm exams!"I’m going upstairs too," Tristan added, surprised by her sudden focus. He hesitated for a moment before quickly following her up the stairs.Melissa had long lost her patience. Without a word, she dragged Matthew upstairs, letting out a disdainful snort as they left.What had been a lively living room now left So

"Okay."Understanding Cherry’s impatience, Sophie smiled and gently pulled away from Cedric’s embrace. She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish.She hoped for her family's safety, health, and happiness. She wished that her parents and sister were living comfortably in another world. And she wished that she and Cedric would have a happy ending, free from past mistakes.After silently making her wishes, she blew out the flickering candles in one breath.The room filled with the faint scent of melted wax."We can eat the cake now!" Cherry beamed with joy, eagerly carrying the cake to the dining table.Her impatience made Jeff laugh heartily, his eyes crinkling with delight as he stroked his beard. "Alright, let’s start eating before this little girl drools all over the table."Sophie took her seat, glancing at Cedric, who still held her hand tightly. Her smile widened as she playfully scolded him, "Why didn’t you tell me on the way here?""If I told you, ho

Although Sophie's mind was brimming with questions, she couldn’t help but smile at Cedric's words. She looked down at their intertwined hands, feeling the warmth of his palm. Whether it was a perfect match or a union made in heaven, it all required two hearts in love. With love, even amidst turbulence, they would find the courage to move forward together.Before long, the Bentley smoothly pulled into the Carlson residence.Jeff immediately smiled and waved upon their arrival. "Soph, come over here."Sophie approached, noticing that Mrs. Carrie had prepared a table full of dishes. She couldn’t help but feel puzzled. "Grandpa, what has made you so happy? Why did you ask Mrs. Carrie to make so much delicious food?""Silly girl, did you forget what day it is today?"Jeff's loving yet mischievous smile left her momentarily bewildered. Then her eyes widened in surprise. With everything going on with Linda, she had completely forgotten her own birthday!"Happy birthday." Cedric had quie

Fearing that staying any longer would only worsen the situation, Linda quickly opened the door and walked out.Fenix stood there, confusion gradually replacing the determination in his eyes."What’s wrong with marrying me?" he asked Sophie, genuinely puzzled.'I’m the CEO of Cheshire Group. I’m not unattractive, and marrying me would make her legally protected as Mrs. Cheshire. Why am I being rejected?'Sophie coughed awkwardly, gaining a deeper understanding of Fenix. Sean had navigated the world of romance with ease, but Fenix seemed as naive in matters of the heart as a child."Am I really that bad?"Seeing that Fenix was still fixated on why he was rejected, Sophie shook her head. "Feelings are different from business. It’s not about racing against time or weighing benefits. You can’t apply business tactics to relationships. Spending a lifetime together requires a foundation of love.""Foundation of love? You and Cedric grew up together. You had a good foundation, but it was

Sophie's suspicion was right. Fenix was not one to easily abandon his target. After Linda ignored countless calls, he took the initiative to find her."Mr. Cheshire, Linda really isn't in the office right now," the secretary tried to block him, but it was futile against a determined man, especially one exuding an intimidating chill."Then I’ll find Sophie.""But Ms. Luxford, she—" Before the secretary could finish, Fenix's long legs had already taken him to Sophie's office door.He knocked twice before pushing it open. The secretary looked like she was about to cry. "Ms. Luxford, I’m sorry, I couldn’t stop Mr. Cheshire.""It’s fine. Go make Mr. Cheshire a cup of coffee," Sophie said.Seeing Fenix barge in, she raised an eyebrow, smiled, and glanced at Linda, who was hiding in her office. "Have a seat and let's talk.""No need. I have to catch a flight soon." Fenix cut straight to the point, his determined eyes fixed on Linda as he said firmly, "I need an answer from you.""Mr.
